Infrastructure at carrier scale.
High-density storage, archive, and managed services for national telecoms operators and content delivery networks.
The challenge
Volume. Velocity. Compliance.
Telecoms operators in the GCC store vast volumes of CDR data, network telemetry, and subscriber records — under regulatory retention mandates that require years of searchable archive. Legacy tape-centric environments cannot meet modern retrieval SLAs, and the growth rate of operational data is outpacing storage capacity planning cycles.
STME approach
Tiered archive at carrier scale.
STME deploys tiered storage architectures that separate hot operational data from warm near-line and cold archival storage — using Quantum ActiveScale object storage for the mid-tier and Spectra Logic tape for the cold archive. Retention policies are enforced at the platform level, with automated legal hold capabilities for regulatory compliance.
